| the preface of sETour in Scotland no biogra-
ply or memoir of the subject of it has yet
been written. The object of this little book
is to gather into the form of memoir of her
life various illusions to Miss Wordsworth,
together with such further particulars as
might be procurable and with reflections to
which such a life gives rise. Few names can

volume entitled FThe Prison Problem; or the
Cause and Cure of Intemperance." The vol
ume is thorough discussion of the question
''What shall we do to be saved?" as applied
to intemperance. After rehearsing the
various theories of intemperance and the
experiences which have been the result of
the various movements to suppress it, the
author draws from the logic of these expert
ences and theories that the temperate use'
of alcohol is but the first stage of a pro-
gressive and shame-proof disease, and that,
moderation failing, we must direct blows at
the root and adopt eradication" for our
motto, the removal of the cause being easier
than the suppression of the symptoms by
Just as much as abstinence is easier than
temperance. The book contains much that
is of worth in ideas and practical suggestions.
